New Member, UW-Platteville, Looking to Learn About Industry

Hello All,

I am a college student at UW-Platteville. I recently got introduced to real estate investing and have now become engulfed with the idea, reading books and listening to podcasts. I've recently been viewing possible properties to rehab and house hack for my final semester. But, with only one semester remaining in the Platteville area and working the numbers on possible options, I decided that it was not the right time for me to get it.

However, I still want to find some way of getting into real estate and learn with first hand experience. I don't have many credits left to take so I am going to have a lot of free time in my final semester. 

Any suggestions on how I can get into the business without having my own property? I was thinking finding local investor/PM firm that I could intern/work with, what would be a good way to find good people to work with? Any other suggestions/personal stories on what I can do would be much appreciated.

Thank you all for the help
